This could be your chance to win a powerful car that is ready to tackle both the street and the strip, as TRI Industries is raffling off this 2016 Shelby GT350R (or the choice of $75,000 in cash). One hundred percent of the raffle proceeds will be donated to support the operations of TRI industries (as a 501(c)3 non-profit organization), which is dedicated to helping people afflicted with severe disabilities.
Not only is your raffle purchase an opportunity to own an awesome ride – it’s also doing some good for someone else.
As a company that manufactures toner cartridges, TRI Industries has seen a decline in revenue due to a shrinkage in the imaging supply market. “This has impacted our bottom-line, and has resulted in TRI needing to reduce positions to meet our operating budget requirements,” Jay Burrell, vice president and chief operating officer at TRI Industries said. “We were looking at alternative sources of revenue, and saw numerous drawings by other non-profits which were highly successful in raising this much needed funding.”
More than 4,923 tickets that have been issued for the raffle, which has brought in roughly $39,000. “Our original goal was to raise $150,000,” Jay explained. “The drawing will be conducted on October 31st of this year. We will have an accounting firm on-hand to certify the drawing process.” he entailed.
The winning ticket will be drawn from a large drum, and the drawing will be recorded to play on the company’s Facebook page.
The odds of winning aren’t too bad if you ask us – and the company is guaranteeing a drawing; as opposed to other raffles which require a certain amount of ticket sales before they are willing to perform the promised giveaway. With reasonable ticket prices, the worst case scenario isn’t bad at all. Donating money to a worthy cause is definitely an idea worth considering!
